Express VET Mobility Database and Guides for ECVET Cluster of Countries

Description

The European Credit System for Vocational Education and Training (ECVET) aims to formally recognize the knowledge, skills and competences acquired by individuals in another country, and to facilitate the transfer of credits between the EU and Program (Erasmus +) countries. Within the scope of the Erasmus + Program, our project named ““Express VET Mobility Database and Guides for ECVET Cluster of Countries – VETExpress” has been implemented for 33 months and activities have been carried out to increase the recognition and applicability of the ECVET system. Outputs supporting the ECVET system were obtained within the scope of the project.“Student, Parent, Teacher and School Guides (O2)”, one of the project intellectual outputs, was made available to competent institutions and stakeholders who intend to support and use ECVET for mobility activities. The guidelines have been prepared with the objective of explaining ECVET's facilitating role in transnational mobility activities to all stakeholders in a user-friendly (easily understandable / applicable) approach. “Recognition of Prior Learning” is not supported by the legal framework of many European countries. For this reason, recognition of prior learning between schools and for selected achievements can only be realized through the implementation of pilot projects. With this project, the results of many previous ECVET pilot projects were disseminated. The International Conference, which was planned as the last of multiplier activity and held in the last stage, shared all the outputs and evaluations obtained in the project with the Turkish and European beneficiaries.The qualifications and the experiences of the project coordinator and the partners, stand out as a different aspect of the VETExpress project than many previous projects. Each partner in the project (Germany, Italy, Turkey and Spain) represents a different cluster of ECVET countries. Thus, with the partnership structure of the Project, it was possible to represent different clusters of ECVET. In this context, the outputs of the Project, such as the Current Situation Analysis and the Policy Documents (O5) on ECVET, have made this project a significant added value that cannot be achieved by a single country at a European level. As the project coordinator “Ministry of National Education-DG for VET” and the partners included all the relevant stakeholders, decision-makers and policy-maker institutions of the each partner’s region in to the Project studies. In addition, the participation and contribution of the individuals in our target group, such as students and parents, to the activities and outputs were provided.The main activities realized within the scope of the project are planned in a way to support the project outputs. During the development of the outputs “student, parent, teacher and school guides (O2), common templates for ECVET (O4), and Vetexpress Platform (O3)” each project partner has completed their preliminary preparations by conducting Needs and Current Situation Analysis (A4) in their own country. Draft guidelines and templates were prepared by the responsible institution with the support of all partners, and improved during the transnational project meetings.Furthermore, related documents were used in the short-term joint personnel trainings (C1) and guides and templates were developed by taking the opinions of the participants. In the first multiplier (E1) event, participants contributed to their development by evaluating the guidelines and templates developed. In line with the comments received, guidelines and templates were finalized. Simultaneously, Vetexpress Online Platform (O3) has been developed under the responsibility of our project partner İzmir Provincial Directorate of National Education.The platform was drafted according to the comments of the project partners, the results of the needs analysis, and the final version of the guidelines and templates. In the short term joint personnel training (C2), the participants were told to use the platform, they were provided to make an application on a case study and their evaluations were taken and used to update the platform. In addition, during the implementation of the Vocational Education Student Mobility activities (C3, C4), the platform was piloted and thus tested and evaluated with a real study. A Policy Document (O5) has been prepared according to the results and situations encountered during the project process. Each project partner has prepared a Policy Document for its own country. The draft Policy Document was officially shared with the relevant institutions and their evaluations were taken. In the dissemination workshop held in Ankara with the participation of stakeholders, policy documents and project outputs were introduced and evaluated. The project outputs were shared with the participants during our last activity, the multiplier event (E2).
